Hello girls and boys!!
So as you all know I love food! I make so many delicious cakes, meals and desserts and its hard to get into shape. I have been struggling with my weight for a long time, but I know most people cant see that from the outside.
I dont have the best relationship with food and diet, I always either over eat or under eat and its been like this for a while. ANYONE who ever tried to lose weight, knows HOW HARD it is.
I have started my weight loss journey 12 weeks ago, the first 10 weeks went quite well and I even lost around 6-7 kg by just eating healthy food and around 1800 calories.
Then last two weeks I messed up again and gained 3 kg back. It was so upsetting but its my fault. I know a lot of people battle with weight loss and I know how hard it is!
I know some of you might think I look fine and I know I do, but I want to get back to how I used to be and how I used to look few years ago. More importantly I want to be healthy, strong and fit. Sometimes you might look skinny but your fat % can be high.
I have tried all diets in the world just to give you an example of what i have tried in the last 10 years!
Lemon Water Detox Diet ( super hard and weight comes back)
Fruit Diet ( eating just fruit)
Vegetable Diet ( eating just veggies)
Atkins Diet ( worked but gained it back)
Dukan Diet ( worked but then gained all back)
Calorie Counting Diet ( drives you mad)
Vegan Diet ( worked for a bit, but hard to maintain)
Intermittent Fasting ( worked and is great so far, still doing it)
Slim Fast Diet ( works but gain back)
Slimming World Diet ( works but not effective)
Juice Diet ( great for cleaning but weight comes back)
Sugar free diet ( works great but as soon as you eat sugar its back on)
I have probably forgot the others that I have tried. As a woman, i think on average we try at least 5-10 diets in a life time! The best diet I have found was when I just ate healthy meals and mainly green vegetables and loads of fresh fruit with some protein.
The key is really to just eat less and move more. It doesn’t matter what diet you are on really, it is all about eating less calories and burning more, so your body is in deficit and starts to go to your fat reserves.
We all know this, so why is it so hard to lose weight? It takes SOOO LONG, you have to be soon patient - which I am not btw! But I have given myself a goal of 1 year, and I know I will go up and down, but as long as I am getting results thats all that matters.
As you know I met @ivargereiko and he is a professional athlete and has done several diets to reduce body fat and to compete in competitions and has transformed several people. So I asked him to help me and give me a food plan. Not going to lie, the plan is rough! lol eating 6 meals a day in a very small amounts.
Thing is I TRUST him. He has done it before, now I'm going to do this diet for 3 weeks. I call this a diet, because we are going to be shredding the fat, and he explained once the fat is gone, we build more muscles and then can increase the calorie amount to 1800-2000 a day and not gain weight. Doesn't this like a dream come true?
Well I am about to experiment on myself… so wish me luck! I am going away in 3 weeks to see my family in Spain, so I do want to look better! I am also doing interment fasting, which means once a week so lets say every Monday - I don’t eat at all and just drink lemon water - around 3 litres!
You can see the full progress on my Instagram , I will be updating daily what i eat for those who want to follow! I will weight myself today and see the progress in few weeks!
Wish me luck guys!!! If any of you want to get healthy and need food or exercise routine - he is the best person to go to!
I wish you luck Alla, but luck will come only when you remove refined (industrial) sugar from your diet. It is that easy.

Good luck Alla!
It sounds like you have a good coach.
Building muscle mass is VERY important for increasing the metabolism and burning more calories so I was glad to see he has that on your agenda.
I personally had great success when I switched to a paleo diet, very low in carbs, no gluten, no sugar, no fried food and no processed foods. I lost 35 lbs in 5 weeks with no exercise. I also cut down the alcohol which has great effects all around.
Looking forward to seeing your success.
Cheers.

However, "LOSING" weight can be achieved through diet, exercise, determination and patience. :D

Hi Alla, I don't know if you know this but since you cook a lot, maybe that makes a difference for you. Basically every time you eat something (even tasting food while you cook) your body releases insulin.
While your body is flooded with insulin it can't possibly burn any fat. You're basically only in fat burning mode in between meals. And if you go too long without protein, you start burning muscles. So that's why you should have some protein every 2,5-3 hours. This is a good read with loads of info https://www.t-nation.com/diet-fat-loss/insulin-advantage - good luck with reaching your eight loss goals. Xx

Have you looked into Intermittent Fasting?? Probably one of the best ways to naturally lose weight. I usually do 12-16 hour fasts (8 hrs of sleep plus 4-8 hours during the day). The human body actually becomes internally stronger during fasting. Cells rebuild and regrow stronger, which protects the brain and body against several diseases. Not only that, your body uses fat as energy after your glycogen stores become depleted.
Just imagine this, hundreds of years ago, before grocery stores, do you think people really ate breakfast? Usually not... Hunters and gathers had to go find food before they could eat!
Look into it and do a little research, it could completely change your life!

That's quite a lotyou have tried there. I have been through same problem. The problem with diet is that they are temporary though I found Intermittent fasting good. Still following. The thing to consistency is making good food choices. I have reduced 22 pounds not by some diet but adopting a healthy lifestyle. Try fiber rich foods. That'll help :)

Cool article, you've tried a lot. All people are different so I try to experiment as well. I have had great results in the last year. I would recommend one major thing, low bread intake, lower fruit intake. Sugars make your mind happy, and our guts may crave it, but the only gain is short term happiness to some and some quick fat intake. Protein and fiber can be locked down in beans and they give you a lot of energy. I have always maintained a similar weight by eating food that isn't rewarding, so I know when I am cheating. Most of my friends and family give me shit sometimes so I eat everything around at events so I don't seem un-american lol. I would like to see your updates, thanks!!

I feel your struggle. What works for me hands down is intermittent fasting and calorie restriction. I stop eating at 9pm and resume the next day at 3.30 or 4pm . Always more protein and healthy fat,less carbs and sugar. I wish u all the best in your new diet. Keep us updated.

Diet is only half of the work. I personally led a bit of a sedentary for a period of 6 months working online as I do. One thing that worked for me was that I had already been exercising before I had that lapse. Cardio is very important. What worked for me is getting a bicycle and riding along the highway every evening sometimes with friends to keep the spirits up. This coupled with a strict diet (no red meat in over two months and no junk food at all.) I also do weight training but that is not very important since I do it to improve my physique. Wish you all the best @allasyummyfood!!

The best way to lose weight is really to stop eating high-calorie food in general and minimize sugar intake. There are only a handful of foods that are high-calorie (not talking about the pre-packaged stuff in the stores, where you can find plenty of high-calorie stuff).
My very first post on Steemit was how I lost seven kilos in seven weeks, because I tried to lose it fast, so I was also trying to eat much less than usual to achieve that weight loss faster. But you don't have to do that - you can do it twice as slowly by eating more normally, but watching out for those high-calorie foods. - @jarexx.

Hey @allasyummyfood! Awesome post!
If you don't mind, I would like to share with you my story regarding this subject.
I think it was four or five years ago when i've decided to lose weigth. At the time I weighted around 103 kg and it felt aweful, honestly. I always loved food and cooking, and I still do, but some things have changed since then. On my journey to be healthier I've reduced a lot on the amount of calories ingested per day, and found out that not eating at night made a huge diference over all. For few years after that, by only focusing myself only on diet, I was able to reduce my weight to 91kg. No more! I wasn't able to reduce more than that since I wasn't working out. That was due to my studies in the multimedia field, consuming all of my time for the last few years of my life.
At the start of this year I read somewhere that eating refined sugar can make you brain numb, and so I tried to stop eating sugar for a week. After that I had the news that my brother got diabetes type 2, leading me to look at sugar with disgust. These events gave me another perspective on food and health in general.
Today I can't say I'm vegan but I think I'm getting close to it. Not to lose weight or anything but because I feel like eating healthy. You can say I'm on a diet but I don't feel that way, truly. I've started to walk everywhere I need to go to save money and that, together with the way I eat, made a huge impact on my life.
This morning I picked up my scale and found out that my current weight is now 82.8kg. I never weighted so little since I was 16 (I'm 1.83m tall). The funny thing is that I am losing weight every day, even if it's just a little bit, without making an effort. But you know, this was due to my circumstances and the mindset I've got after that huge emotional rollercoaster.
Anyway, again, awesome post!
Keep it up and good luck on your journey!

Fantastic post! Losing weight and keeping it off is very, very hard. It's not like smoking where you can just stop eating. I love food! We still have to eat! I just wrote a post yesterday on my weight loss. I have a lot of success with high volume foods such as veggies with awesome seasonings. Veggies are awesome because you can eat a ton and they are very low in calories. I weightlift, so I follow macros/IIFYM. I'm going to follow you on instagram too. You got this!

Wow. You're doing Intermittent Fasting. I'm doing that too. I been doing it since last summer, but if forgot what day I started.
I been doing about 4 days water fast and 3 days of eating. Well not always 4 days, but most of the time.
I make allowances for holidays and birthdays and parties that I have to go to. So at least 2 day fast a week, but mostly 4 days of water fasting every week.
That is why I visit your site a lot. Just to look at the food, but not touch. Ha ha.
The next door neighbor says, he can really tell the difference. To him my face looks slimmer. I count him as one of the boys next door.
The boys next door used to always want me to drink beer with them and they supplied the beer. I don't even like beer that much.
So one day I told him I don't drink anymore. The boys next door are pretty heavy.
I told them about fasting and they said right of the bat, "No. Are you kidding. I can't do that." Everyone of them.
So the boys next door just keep on drinking. They let me have the bottles and cans to recycle. That drinking adds on weight too.

@allasyummyfood have you tried Paleo diet?
Also with meals the biggest breakfast & smallest dinner.
Sugar isn't good and alcohol equals a lot of empty calories.
Water (warm) with lemon first thing in the morning.

Ive found that calorie counting is the wrong approach and why the calorie restrictions diets don't last. Instead try feeding the body foods high in nutrients, minerals and good fats. When the body signals its hungry that's what it truly wants. Not empty calories. In that way you can eat until your full and be more satisfied longer. This has to be more of a lifestyle change instead of a diet so there's no yo-yo effect.
Although i do love food cooking baking and the likes, I've managed adopt a more of a vegan diet because meats and dairy tend to be full of nasty stuff. Antibiotics, chemicals and hormones to make them bigger and fatter in a much shorter period of time is a ticking time bomb, which then ends up in us and thus we end up getting "bigger" and sicker.
While i do still enjoy meat and some cheeses Off and on (I am down to only eating it once a month since I still have a family that I cook for that still love their meat), I try to get my protein source from plant based foods or a better and cleaner meat source.
Of all the research and experiments with diets and health, I've found that Dr Morses (he's on YouTube) work makes the most sense and works for me. He made me realize that we eat for health not dieting. Once were healthy everything else falls into place.
Note: I've also found that taking iodine for thyroid function boosts metabolism (studies have shown that most people are defiecient in iodine anyway)

We've all been there before - maintaining a healthy weight with the right diet is a delicate balance between being active and eating the right amounts and types of food. I know every time I see any type of muffin top forming in my belly, I start eating less and exercising even more!
Personally, I've found compound exercises - those that engage multiple muscle groups - to be the most effective at decreasing abdominal fat. And as far as the most effective diet is concerned, I think you can never go wrong with incorporating lots of fruits and vegetables into your diet.
But cutting down on desserts and pastries is always a challenge for sure - I've compromised by sticking to just a single slice of my favorite pastry per week and dramatically reducing the amount of carbs I consume at breakfast and dinner.
@ivargereiko is sure to be an excellent resource when it comes to proper fitness and choosing the best diet - he is very knowledgeable and absolutely ripped! I look forward to more posts by Ivar since fitness is another topic that I always find particularly important and interesting. I hope you learn a ton from him and reach your fitness goals well before your overseas trip!
Thanks for sharing your experience Alla!

Good luck on the journey! I found out the hard way on how to lose weight and I don't recommend it,except for the water part.
At first I started the Atkins diet in the beginning of February. Lost 11 lbs until I had to move out beginning of May.
I was so stressed out.
Then I was homeless for 44 days.All I did was drink 3 gallons of water each and every single day. It got to the point where I couldn't even look at food.
I stayed in the walmart parking lot and visited the restroom there about 11 times a day and night. Everywhere I drove, I had to stop. It was getting ridiculous.
I ate oatmeal and cereal when I did eat which was maybe once a day if that.
Drinking so much water resulted in an infection,and then another infection.
So... I lost 22 lbs doing that every day. Now that I have an apt to live in,I gained 2 lbs. UGH. But.. I do know it is out of boredom. My son uses my car to go to work and I am here all day with basically nothing to do,if I'm not fixing something or painting something. Plus I have been eating after 6pm which is another nono. I have been going to bed at 5am. :(
I know you will have more willpower than me. Just by writing it down,you already have the control.

In my opinion, the best way to loose weight and stay in shape is to write a journal of what you eat in a day. Calculate the energy balance and you will see what food that you eat you have underestimated in calories. I know that is not a solution for the rest of the future. But it helped me and other people that I know to visualize the caloric content of the food you eat. If you persistently write down what you eat in a day for let's say a half a year and search out the calories you will get a feeling for the energy amounts you eat or you have to eat to loose weight / to stay in shape. The easist way is to use a app (e.g. myfitnesspal) that does this for you. In combination with a healthy and active lifestyle that burns additional calories, it will be easier to loose weight or stay in shape. :-)

Well I feel with you... same struggle and also did try a lot of diets. But last year after doing a juice diet with self-made juice containing 80% veggies and 20% fruits, after 3 weeks of strictly doing this.. I lost nothing, 0 , null... At that moment i realized that this was not normal so I decided to consult a Professor at one of the 3 university clinics in Belgium. They did a metabolic test. So i entered the hospital on Sunday evening and got all the test starting as from Monday morning. ... i was pretty excited for the outcome as I was putting all hope that they would have a solution for my problem and mostly for my disturbing belly fat! It drives me crazy every day, feeling myself ugly an fat like a cow... knowing that even when i eat nothing, the weight is popping on... :( Well this was a very disappointing moment when I got my results. Maybe it was also a relief…
Seems I have a abnormal basal metabolic rate and this is how I am, nothing I can do about. Just live with it and look what you eat for the rest of your life.
Do some exercise, but even this would not have a big impact as a normal person basal metabolic rate is around 1400-1500 calories and mine is just around 1000. I don't have the time to do sports whole day.
So now I try to accept this, but it very difficult. One day it goes better one day its makes me very sad. Feeling guilty when I eat thing I should not eat, like French fries, pasta, ice cream...
I wish everybody who struggles with their weight a lot of courage and hope other people give more understanding to people go true this. Because sometimes you see people thinking out loud when you eat something that does not fit in a diet to lose weight. You can see them thinking ok look that fat cow eating ....

Discipline is really the key. In China, there is a dietary food like oatmeal, people lost more than 20kg within a week and they feel good. The product is called 159. It's really popular now in China. If you have it for 3 meals a day without eating anything else but tons of water, you will achieve unbelievable result. I don't want to lose weight, my husband and I have been using it to control our weight. The key theory of it is same as what we've know- control your mouth. I am not promoting this product here, but trying to say weight control is all about disciple.

Hi Alla,
My name is Ilona and I am a fitness competitor and bodybuilder. Thank you for posting this - it brings light to the struggles of the fitness industry. I want to pick your brain a bit - I want to encourage you to think of fitness and eating as a lifestyle, not a diet. Diets do not work long term and the mental satisfaction quickly diminishes.
Again, it's a way of life. I think you should attempt to be mindful and listen to your body - listen to what it needs. Overall all, it's not about tracking calories...so if you're going to track, I would recommend using myfitnesspal. My clients track their intake using that app, focusing on fats, carbohydrates and protein. Your coach can give you a set amount of macronutrients (fats, protein and carbs) that you should be hitting per day.
Tracking macronutrients is awesome because you aren't following any diets, you can fit yummy things into your plan while staying on track. This kind of tracking promotes consistency which is crucial when living a balanced lifestyle.
Please reach out if you'd like to know more or have questions! Check out my page for some great workout circuits and you can learn a little about me! ❤️ All the best to you - good luck!!

Hey Alla, respect for sharing your struggle with all of us. I guess that most people have passed through this kind of weight struggles. Around 3-4 years ago I was overweighed myself and I would like to share here my thoughts.
I realized that when it comes to weigh loss the big problem is “DIET”. It is easy to lose weight with almost any diet; the real deal is to maintain it. Diets are based on restrictions and they are made to work for only a period of time. When people finish the diet, they go back to the old lifestyle and do all the things that were restricted and they usually gain back what they’ve lost. And that’s because the cause of the extra weight was the old lifestyle in the first place.
That’s why diets are the wrong approach, you must attack the root if you want lasting changes! If you don’t change the lifestyle which put those extra kilos, it doesn’t matter what diet you do, you will always get the same results in the long run. You have even proven that to yourself several times.
In my case, I started to change my lifestyle because of healthy concerns. I had more than 20 kg more, my cholesterol was on the sky, I was getting tired even tiding my shoes. I was basically eating anything that taste good (mostly fatty or sugary fast food) and I was making any kind of sport. So, I decided to change my lifestyle. I started to leave fat, sugar and meat off my plate, I started to exercise regularly. After some months I went complete vegan, and it has been the best decision of my life.
I have been living a healthy vegan lifestyle for 2 years now and I’ve never hat weight problems again. I don’t need to count calories anymore, I don’t even use that word much. I can eat as much healthy food as I want and I try to exercise regularly, but I don’t follow any plan or routine. I feel great and I have my perfect weight. A lot of people would say that I am too thin now, but unfortunately, we live in an overweighed society.
I see that you love cooking and baking, which is awesome! but I also see that you use a lot of dairy, eggs, butter, sugar, oil and other unhealthy ingredients, etc. Of course you struggle with weight if you eat like this. You can create almost any dish in a healthier way and you will start to see and feel the different soon. Ex. instead of baking with eggs use bananas, instead of sugar use dates und so on. This products are not only making us fat, they are also making us sick. It's not only about the weight, it is also about the health.
My recommendation to you is to forget completely about DIETS and calories, because after you finish with this new one, you will back where you started, just in the same way you did with those other diets.
If you want permanent changes, then change to a healthier lifestyle and you won’t have to worry about weight ever again.
Cheers
